THE EYE OF AN ARTIST.
I Case Where I* Wae More Rellablt
Than a Sailor's Optic.
Mr. N. Chevalier, the well knowi
artist who accompanied the late Du!o
of Edinburgh on many of his travels'
was once going from Dtmedlu I:
Lyttelton, New Zealand, by steamer
Anxious to catch the tinrllest glimpse
of the coast he went on deck at dawn
and was alarmed to see that the vessel
was heading straight on to the laud.
Calling the officer’s attention to the
fact, he was told tbnt It was only n
fog hank. The artist maintained b!.-*
point, but the second officer looked
and confirmed his mate. *
The artist then said: “Well, gentle
men, I will back my artist’s eye
against your sailor’s eye. and f sav
that what you mistake for a fog bani:
ts a low range of hills, and tlnere Is a
range of mountains appearing above
them.”
But he was only laughed at. until
the captain coming on deck found In
the growing light that the artist was
right and the seamen wrong. The ves-
gel was out of Its course, and there
was only Just time to avert disaster.
The helmsman was dismissed in dis
grace and the course given to the new
steersman, but the vessel’s bead wtlii
pointed landward—the compass wa«*JI
wrong.
The canse was discovered later. A
commercial traveler had brought a taox
of magnets on board and deposited
them In a stern etibin, causing wbat
might have been a fatal deflection of
the compass.
To return to the question of Inter
pretation. the artist was dealing with
the appearances which his eye was
trained to see and his mind to Inter
pret. A speck on tb* horizon might
have remained a mere speck to him
long after the sailors bad Interpreted
the speck Into a vessel of definite rig.
There can be tittle doubt thqt the
trained eye Is accompanied by a sort
of mental seeing, an instinct outrun
ning optica.
DEEP SEA CURRENTS.
mysteries Of The ocean that
have puzzled the scientists.
A Theory hs tb the btlglii and Caasg
of the Galt and Other Stream*—Art)
They the rrortuet Of Immense hhtl*
marine GeySerM t
For more than n Century (tcitmlsts'
find philosophers have ttoetf v'riinly try-,
Ing to discover the origin and cause of
the mysterious current in'the Atlantic'
Ocean bulled the gulf stream. Why so
called ts not apparent, as nothing In
the gulf of Mexico Is In Its composition.'
There have beeu many theories, which
have been abandoned, some perfectly
absurd, such ait its being caused by the
enrth In Its revolution on tts axis, for
if It had the power to draw this stream
rft the rate of five miles aii 'hour from
ilte conn of Honda It would draw all
tiic water frtiiw ! the rftst coasts of
North fiml Kcnflr Amerlcif n't the some
velocity. T he prevailing tiictfry Is' that ’
the northeast triple w'lmM drive if cur-,
rent Into the b'firlbheau set* j»mf a'idVd
hy the feeble equatorial strewtn. heap'’
up the water In the gnT of Mexico,
thence rushing nrotiifd the south of
Florida from the source of the gulf
Irenut. Hdt there is no such a heap-
ug of the waters 111 that gulf. The
waters there are sluggish, and there Is
in 1 ri'ceptlble current lending toward
he .;i lf rtuiun or anywhere else.
■' bin theory tins been accepted for
•nut ,.f a better, but those who favor
ere not entirely satisfied with It. The
■ttilf stream Is an Independent body of
water, having no connection with the
water around or behind the point
where It emerges, it Is warmer nnd
jf a deeper blue than the surrounding
ens and gushes forth from the start
ing point off Cape Sable at the rate of
from five to six kuots an hour, with
-i temperature of aliout UO degrees,
lessoning gradually ns It proceeds ou
Its Journey of thousands of miles across
the Atlantic ociwii. warming the west
ern shores of Europe.
Having seen the fallacy of the the
ories concerning the gulf stream, we
trill turn our atteution to the great Pa
cific current, Identical In all respects
will) Its sister current of the Atlautic
and concerning which there are no the
ories to contend with.
It starts spontaneously ffotu a spot &
r ew miles from the south end of the
stand of Formosa, In the Banshee
‘baunel, following the coast of For
mosa northeasterly, past and through
the Loocboo Islands, skirting the const
of Japan: thence turns eastward on Its
long Journey across the wide Pacific,
warming the coast of America from
Puget sound to Mexico, its dnrk blue
waters are In striking contrast to the
surrounding sens, giving It the name of
Muith Suur, or black water. It Ib nu
ndependeut stream where Do eomblon-
.lon of winds or currents enu possibly
■uuse the mighty rush of warm blue
.vuter with a velocity of from five to
lx knots an hour from the start.
Iu Its characteristics of heat, color
ind direction It resembles the gulf
dream lu every particular, and the
i'lgln of the two streams must be the
nine, whatever they may be. which 1
hall endeavor to show later ou. There
s another ocean current similar In nil
expects to the other two. with the ex-
•eptlon tint it runs In an exactly op-
loslte direction. Starting from the vl-
■Inlty of the south end of the Island of
Madagascar, it ruus southwesterly
uround the Cape of Good Hope, where
it disappears off Cnpe I.agnllns. As a
current, probably part of It hi diverted
into a steady set of the eastern currant,
mused by the prevailing westerly
winds lu thut region. No scientists, so
lar as 1 am nwiire. have attempted: to
account for this current. Haying now
■roved beyond refutation that all the
ories advanced ns to the cause of ocean
currents ore groundless. It remaius to
be proved wbat tbe true cause Is.
It must be admitted that the current*
have a similar origin, as they are Iden
tical in every respect as regards color,
beat and velocity, springing forth In
the same'manner spontaneously from
tbe earth In sortie mysterious way.
There Is tto place on tbe surface of tbe
earth where the water con be heated
to furnish' the beat contained in thi>se
streams that gush forth from the
depths of tbe sea: consequently the
forces must be subterranean and can
only be accounted for by large bodies
of dear, blue water from the ocean
forcing Its way Into fibe depths of the
earth tinder Its crust, where It burrow«
a channel of Its own to the surface
again, having received It* wnrmfb on
tbe way by aontact with the Internal'
heat of tbe lower region* at the earttv,
forced on by continual pressure from'
behind.
Thai there are orifices tn the earth’s
crust cannot be denied, also what be
comes of tbe vast volnme of water that
cannot be computed whleb la constant
ly running at tbe rate of from four t«
six knots an hour from tbe Atlantic
ocean, through the strait of Gibraltar
Into tbe Mediterranean sea. The nu
merous rivers, too. are contlnssUy
flowing In. and yet the sea remains at
tbe same level. Evaporation cannot
account for it for what Is evaporated
Is formed Into clouds and U precipitat
ed again Into tbe sea by the medium of
storms sad frequent rajas, _ _
- Tbe water must enter the earth from
the ocean through these apertures on
an incline as it gushes forth In these
three mighty currents and cannot tie
discovered hy soundings: consequently
these three mighty currents nre noth
ing more or less tint a Immense geysers.

Why Hindoos Don’t Go Mail. *
Why are there so few lunatic asy
lums and so small a proportion of in
sane potions In India? That lo a ques
tion which many a traveler has won-
deringiy asked.
Tbe Hindoos regulate their lives en
tirely In acco4tdance with their religion—
that Is, their working, eating, sleeping!
as well as what we usunlly regard a*
our “life” In tbe religious sense of tha
Word. Everything Is arranged for them,
and they follow tlx* rules now Just its
they did 2,000 years ago. This constant
observance of the same rules for twen
ty centuries has molded the brains of
thq race into one shape, ns It were, ami
although their rites nre queer enough,
yet there Is but an occdslounl example
of that striking deviation from ibf
common Wblcli la called Insanity In
countries inhabited by the white race.
They are fatalists too. With them It
fa a case of “wbat la to be wilt be”
carried to tbe extreme.. This bns in
time given them tbe power to take al'
tilings calmly and ao freed them from
the anxiety that drives so many white
men Into the lunatic asylums.
Met His Match.
That well known historical person-,
age, Augustus the Strong, elector, ot-
Saxony, has furnished tbe subject for
many a tale of hit wonderful muscular
power. We need refer ogly to one
characteristic story In wdMctt. however,
he met bis match. Ob, the occasion to
question he entered) a blacksmith's
shop. To show his,suit bow strong be
yas, picking utKseveral horseshoes, be
broke one after the other, asking the
blacksmith whether he bad no better.
. Wham IV os mo to paying tbe bill, the
Klvme Augustus threw a six dollar
ffeee am tbe auyll. It was a very
thick, coin., Tbe blacksmith, took It up,
broke it In half, say lag, me;
